Song Description

The ten songs that comprise Days To Here, the debut CD from New Jersey native Rob Dye, are a journey through the rich landscape of American music’s roots. With feet firmly planted in those roots, Dye’s music incorporates elements of rock, old school country, Stax-influenced R&B, gospel and more while remaining true to the essence of each style. Guitars wail, the pedal steel and piano bring us into a honky-tonk saloon, a trio of singers takes us to church, an accordion whisks us into bayou country, while a saxophone echoes the famed Jersey Shore sound. Through it all, the lyrics tell classic stories of love, faith, drinking and hitting the road.

Lyrics

YOU CALLED ME HERE (Rob Dye)

I was tempted by the Devil, living in the Serpent's lair
Consumed by jealousy hampered by fear
I needed some direction, someone to guide me through this life
I prayed for salvation to get me through this time of strife

Soon the winds of change were blowing, the darkness became light
Everything that was wrong in my world turned into right
I came out of my shell, I'm no longer in hell
When all the dust settled you presented yourself
And you called me here

I said hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
You called me here

For so many years I wasn't living with the truth
There's no man or woman ever been greater than you
I spoke empty words whose meaning was lost
But now that I found you I'll pay the cost
You called me here

Repeat chorus

Now I'm marching up towards heaven into the Promised Land
I am the prodigal son returning home to make a stand
With you by my side I'll never be alone
I've got a new direction my sins I will atone
You called me here

Repeat chorus 2x
